This is hopefully a pretty basic question--I thought I had seen some YouTube vids where you can side-chain exclusively to the kick noise you've dropped into Impulse. Right now I am using the EQ to compress at only low freq in my Impulse drum kit. So, with a deep kick it is fine. But, when I use a hp filter for a lighter kick the compression doesn't work...or if I want it to, it picks up other higher frequencies sounds in my kit. In the drop menu I have chosen to get my audio from my Impulse kit--in the drop menu right below it my only options are pre-fx, post-fx, and mixer. I thought I had seen somewhere that this drop menu had each sound in your kit to more specifically side-chain. If anyone could throw out some help that would be awesome. Thank you so much in advance.

I find its alot easier to edit and add effects this way.

Why not using Simpler than ? More control. Additionaly for sidechaining I duplicate the Kick Simpler with one muted as the first track so whenever I stop the active kick clip the side chain is still present (and I put a very clicky kick in it like a tr505/ tr707 kick).
